Manuscript letter, sent from San Francisco, in which Glover writes that he will leave Berkeley to travel east on the 3rd December. If Carlile intends to write to him, he should send any letters to Cambridge, Mass., c/o Professor J.H. Beale, or else to Glover's Canadian address if posted after 20th December. Glover hopes that there will be no difficulty in reaching Brighton on 7th January, but if there is any delay, will Carlile facilitate postponing the Lambeth discussions until Glover arrives? Glover has tried to tell Carlile how sick the whole thing makes him; he doesn't think Carlile realises what a shindig they are in for at Cardiff. They have all got it into their heads that Glover likes fighting, when he doesn't. Glover does not want a row, yet a row there will be. J.H.S. doesn't realise how people feel about his abandonment of his original Baptist ideas. The best thing Carlile can do is to get Shakespeare to accept a pension. Glover will approve its being a generous one. Carlile can do this because he is on good terms with J.H.S. Glover hates the toadying, cadging atmosphere of the Church House! But nobody can help their case as much as Carlile can.

Writes that he is waiting for more information about a possible post but J.S.C. suggested that a personal appearance will be necessary, which would be too difficult for him. Reports that H.M.G., W. E. Heitland, R. C. Jebb and John Tucker all replied affirmatively. Mentions that the latter has a son. Asks for the results of the School board. Refers to Harry.

Manuscript letter, in which Glover thanks Carlile for his letter and for the notice of the book. He has read the article by the editor of 'Tablet' in today's edition of 'The Times', which shows Roman Catholic contempt for small Protestant groups and what is in store, no doubt, for Baptists under Mussolini. On the subject of the 'Red Indian Bible', this was the work of the much despised Independents and Puritans in New England. Glover thinks it may be the first translation of the Bible by Englishmen into a heathen language. He is busy working on two tracts of Tertullian for a Loeb Library volume. Anybody who thinks he knows Latin is welcome to translate De Spectaculis, Chapter 3 on his behalf. Tertullian's writing is powerful and packs a punch; when the volume is finally finished, he will send it to the 'Baptist Times'.
